The Frame of What If and Possibility is used to explore different scenarios and possible outcomes that may result. You do this by framing the subject matter in a ‘what if’, ‘what can’, ‘what could’, ‘what would’, or ‘is it possible’ question.
Typical thinking prompts might be:
What is possible with this?
What if I could…?
Is it possible that…?
What would happen if…?

Use examples might be:
What would be possible if I did achieve this goal?
What if balls were triangles?
What could of happened if I did hit that deer with my car?
Is it possible that Bobby really didn’t mean to pop my ball?
Note: The Frame of What if and Possibility closely relates to The Frame of Alternatives and can often times work in conjunction with each other.
